Usual hack accusations

[mRoRange]

Hi All,


Recently, and more and more lately, I have received many hack accusations chatter in games.
I find this very sad to see some of you resort to this over and over.

So, instead of me crying about it here is what you can do. I would honestly rather see someone or many peeps get better than accuse me of hacking.


- Practice, don't continue to do what you always have done.
( I think good players evolve and make changes incrementally over time)
- Use a wall to better understand your shooting pattern for the weapons you use at different distances.
Zig zag and test your fired clusters.
- Aim for the Chest - Head / dead center ( this means always try to shoot for the head down to the chest)
- Don't always run in straight lines, zig , zag , jump, duck , etc.
- Lead your spray ahead of the target sometimes
- When running into a room or area, check behind you, by objects, always check, don't just run through without.
(if you make a habit doing this you will find extra players hiding)
A soldier would never run through a room without clearing it first.
- Use your headphones strategically ( stereo by definition is the Left & Right channels of audio)
- Use your dam peripherals, if you see a bullet hit an object in front of you, it more than likely was shot from
behind you. ( duck, jump , zag , turnaround and look for enemy) that's not a hack, its common sense.
- Develop good keyboard combinations to: Jump, prone and fire or zag turnaround and fire, or jump , run and
evade.
- Use a good mouse & keyboard that you like, using garbage gives you garbage.
-Utilize the " Death Camera" is there for you and works wonders to get out of repeat spawn deaths.
- Move around like you are on a swivel at all times, meaning move fluidly and constantly.
- If you are very close to an enemy and run out of ammo switch to knife immediately and kill them. Don't try to
reload , it takes to much time. A quick switch will be faster in many cases.

These are the basics I use, nothing special , nothing extreme, no hacks.

Hope this helps, and remember its always more fun to try to get better everyday than cry hack and be a poor sport.

And Rick (and anyone else) you have an open invitation to video my gameplay 7 days a week 24 hours a day. Just record , no need to tell me or alert me of results. Please send to video directly to Admins without my knowledge.

You seem to have taken care of the issue, however if someone persists in accusing you of hacking during a round, you are welcome to ask them to stop. If they do not, you can post the chat logs here viewforum.php?f=38 and they can be punished appropriately. If an admin is on during the incident we can also follow the warn/kick/ban system. Excessive hack/weapon type accusations are no longer tolerated.

And as you say, anyone with a suspicion is more than welcome to send videos to us admins.

 

[mRoRange]

Thanks !

Yea, instead making it a negative or bitch session I thought it might be a better approach to include things of useful content.


Anyone welcome to list there tips and tricks to share also.. There is no glory in raping players in my book of less skill.

Coaching and learning are always better options to crying and poor sportsmanship in the game.

Lets see who will be the first with questions... thumbsup0

Mr. O makes some great points and I appreciate the tips. I have watched him from windows, the running, jumping, spinning around - I know that other quality players do this. I don't. I just run and try to drop bettys and time bomb players. Everybody knows what I do. I figure I am a stats booster.

One question I have for you Orange is video settings. I have the same monitor as you. I have a super-duper power computer. I just don't think when I am playing the game that the game video is as crisp as it is for you and Furry and other quality players. How can I check my video settings? What are your settings?

For me, the noobing complaints wear thin - (I know, I know - Orange kicked my ass over my crying about being noobed a couple years ago and I stopped). There are players like Rick, and others, who don't hesitate to blast me to smithereens with a tank or chopper but by God if I use a noob tube on them, then I get to hear about it. Billy was just bitching the other day about me tubing him. Next thing I know, he's blasting me with a tank.

As for hack accusations and bitching about the weapons being used, deal with it and play the game. If you don't like my time bombing you, play mineturd or whatever games you play.

 

[hard_rice]

Let us face it know body likes to be Pwned. Develop your skills and develop your tactics mr Orange you made an excellent list.

I OFTEN GET ACCUSED OF CHEATING BUT I DONT CARE. THATS ALL.

I CAN KICK UR ASSES. XD ak471 ak471

 

[mRoRange]

I have seen O being accused of using aimbot etc. I guess with new ppl getting online in game and not knowing ppl who has been on long time could confuse them about skillz and hacks.They usually dont know the small ticks O is mentioning.

Maybe the text in game should highlight more clear that players on Hello server should read the rules for the server. as we also often see the weapon complaints etc. anyone using M79 from either far or near will be called noob.

Close up M79 works if you hit but if you dont hit youll be dead by O's m16.

That's a good point, there is a lot of new players and that is a good thing too.
Thanks for the kind words, I know its tough to get your but kicked. However, its good to to get better too.

The reason I brought this up, was not for the haters primarily , it was for more the general population. I play with so many of you on the server and I honestly want to see many of you get better eventually. Its not fun kicking but all the time by a big margin. Its more fun getting killed every other time by someone who is matching your moves and countering. Dont take it personal, I see way to many players taking it personal.

Here is a tidbit you may not know. Since I tend to jump constantly I have a torn ligament in my thumb that I am going to try to get fixed this year. All that jumping over the years has earned me a bum thumb... :roll:
So when your calling me names for jumping, know that I pay a price for that every day...

One other thing I think we all forget is that people are creatures of habit. When you do the same thing all the time you get predictable. In any sport that spells " DOOM". So, try to be unpredictable and that will either save your ass or get you a kill and or both many times.

Another tip is to play a little Counter Strike once in a while. Good CS players shoot by head-shot almost exclusively. You go to those servers and you die very quickly. Then you learn to keep your cross-hairs at chest and head levels. Then your just going left or right to a target , not adjusting 2 axis's at the same time.

Pinky: To your question, I use it on the game mode mostly. That setting is a higher refresh rate and its brighter.
Yea, the 28 inch monitor helps. Its like the map is zoomed in a little and you can see better. Im pushing
50 , you need the bigger screen when you get older.


If anyone has any questions let me know, I would be glad to answer. Theres so many topics out there except on how to get better. And i truly want to see many of you get better, you all have put the time in at least.Now its time to dial you're game play in and raise the level of quality on the server. (thats no insult either ) I want to see "Neme" shred me once in a while. I would like to see Skater jack me up like Swiss cheese once in a while. Im challenging you guys to get busy and get better and kick more but ! party01

And thanks to all the admins / leaders for all the hard work you guys put in. Much appreciated !

I have a 1st Gen i7 , 8GB RAM and an nVidia 960GTX I think. Game settings are standard or high I guess.
LED is set to : Game Mode. There are a few changes I made in the last year or so which has helped and encouraged the cheat calling I suppose. I used to play on my laptop on a tv tray in the living room while I watched TV. So, you can imagine I didn't seem to play up to standards while watching shows and movies. Now, I play in my room with no distractions and no TV and on a desktop rather a laptop. It appears I got alot better. Im just more focused without the TV and wifey talking to me while I play.

I am wondering what settings you are using in the game itself. When you start the game, you can go in and adjust the video settings.

I haven't tried putting the monitor in game mode. I know that the video card I have has decent power for this game. It is the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 - 4 GB (single card). I think that is more than enough for this 12 year old game.

It's the settings of the game I think that are messed up. I have tried various settings with no luck. Perhaps the quality of the video in the game is just the best it is going to be. There are videos and instructions out there on how to monkey with the game files to upgrade the video. I tried that stuff and it didn't help.

Thanks Orange for any help you can provide.

Hey Orange, I noticed that when I set my monitor to game mode, that the background color of these forums, for example, became more of a gray. It usually appears white for me. Do you get that?

 

[mRoRange]

... I have received many hack accusations chatter in games.
I find this very sad to see some of you resort to this over and over...

... If they do not, you can post the chat logs here viewforum.php?f=38 and they can be punished appropriately. ...

...This is disappointing to hear.... If anyone, anywhere & anytime, suspects someone of hacking, please do not accuse them in game...

---ROFL, the whole topic is a latent cry about getting bullied by players, coming mostly from admins. I didn't know how sensitive staff is here. Instead of using this forum I suggest every one with the same problem to consult a psychologist about being accused in cheating by player who doesn't appreciate "victim's" skill or if someone is calling a player "m79 noob" or "you're *** noob-rammer", and it hurts player's vulnerable feelings. I'm sure the professional can help everybody to fill that hole of injustice and sadness, don't need to invent new stupid rules.

---Oh yeah, you forgot one more tip in your topic, mRoRange. More teamkill guys without reason, i guess?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VASkViRdoEE[/youtube]

What are you talking about ... ? The title was more to draw people in really and make a shout out to Rick "the crybaby when he gets killed ", lol.

Plus, I saw some support here to enforce the rules of hack accusations. I really appreciate that and I'm impressed.
They're is nothing wrong with supporting your community, rules and players. These admins are doing a great job and just chiming in. Cmon Russ , loosen up a little, be happy and contribute.

Maybe I'm lame for posting it, whatever. At least there's some substance, positive content and a genuine thoughts.

Enjoy the topic of a different flavor, learn something and leave one of your tricks or tips here for someone else.
I hope this topic is more positive than negative and you should too. If you read all these forum posts, theres more moaning,crying and squealing than 2 warthogs , 2 ticks and a mudhole. Post a couple of your slick moves or tips RussWarrior !

I want hear from others and what they do...

Tip for the day: fighting01

When I had a mediocre PC and an even worse internet connection (DSL/10 years ago) with old twisted pair. ... I read an article from an old gaming magazine. I forgot the name of the player, but he said to try this. Adjust your mouse sensitivity to the point its almost unplayable (VERY FAST). Try it for a day or two. Then if your not adapting to the speed then back it down one increment each time until you can play like you played before the change. After a month, start moving the speed up a click and adjust. Do this every month until its unplayable.

When your done, you should be using your mouse at a very high speed and for everyday use as well. A person should use your computer and say " How do you use that mouse like that" when you get to that point you are on your way...

The goal here is to learn to play with the mouse speed the fastest speed you can handle effectively, this will limit your movement or throw to a minimum. Thus taking less time to aim and shoot by way of short controlled moves and covering minimal square inches. It takes time and practice. Once you learn to play with a very fast mouse speed you will never go back. thumbsup0

I don't think anyone in their right mind could describe orange as "having vulnerable feelings." You got me scratching my head on that one. >.< Also, apparently admins following up, being active and doing their job is somehow not cool with you? I guess we're damned if we do, and damned if we don't.

I'm sure the professional can help everybody to fill that hole of injustice and sadness, don't need to invent new stupid rules.

This rule has been in effect for a while now, it was hardly a spur-of-the-moment decision to implement. Much thought and debate went into it. As detestable as you may find it, it was adopted to stop EXCESSIVE CONTINUAL hack accusers that harass people on a REGULAR BASIS. Perhaps you have encountered this yourself, perhaps not, but at the very least it can be distracting when you are just trying to unwind or perform well during a round. Again, the key here is that you have the OPTION to ask someone to stop accusing you. And the admins have the OPTION to break up a fight that just wont die. Lets make one thing clear, admins are not in the business of kicking every person who errantly mentions m79s and hacks.... that would be a full time job :S

I gave you a like on that post Robo.

lol, ditto!

 

[RoBoDuCk]

You seem to have a lot of pent up emotions there RUS, more than I personally have time to deal with anyhow. 0.o

I will say this, the server is not a democracy. You play here for free due to someone else's generosity. No one has to agree with the rules, but if they want to keep playing, they have to follow them.

You say admins haven't properly punished others for TK-ing you in the past. Firstly, admins can only punish what they see with their own eyes. So unless you think we are omniscient, you are asking too much. Typing in public chat that you got TK-ed does not entitle admins to kick or warn anyone. All we can do is switch teams and spectate at the expense of our own game (which we often do). We have to follow the rules when kicking/warning/banning anyone. Here's a link to guidelines we as admins follow. It is posted publicly on the forums. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=7275 Perhaps you should read up and find out exactly what we CAN and CANNOT do before you go throwing accusations.... >.<

As for your video, it was not ignored, if you want to make an official report where admins can properly see and respond to it, then post your evidence here in the proper format. viewforum.php?f=293 Don't go posting a video into an unrelated thread then complain that it hasn't been seen. It doesn't belong here... That being said, I see NOTHING in that video that indicates orange was intentionally TK-ing you. I'm not sure how you expect to prove that. Looks more like an unintentional accident to me, but perhaps someone else can see what I'm missing here.

Your comments just highlight some of the spirit of ungratefulness towards the admins, who do this for 0 compensation and are accused, maligned and mistreated on a fairly common basis. Not to mention towards the only remaining active server that you don't have to pay a cent to play on, thanks to the generosity of someone else. :/ I for one find that abhorrent. I'm grateful that at least my parents raised me better than to take free things and complain about the quality of the free merchandise on the way out. :O

 

[mRoRange]

Falschfahrer ,

If that's me in the F4 shooting at a tank that sits his ass in the middle of the runway ?

A. No , not trying to TK you
B. Yes, that prob was me shooting at you to get your ass out of the middle of the runway.

Did I miss something ?

Falschfahrer , I don't really know you , so I'm not going to act like I don't like you.
With that said, my post is what it is. If it's outrageous and so far over the top compared to all the other whining on these forums so be it.

At least I said what was I my mind and gave a few tips and saw some engagement from others.

As for all the other garbage you posted and pics and videos, lets just leave it to the bullets on the Battlefield.
When I'm on and playing for the team opposite to you, play your best game and try to help your team win.
That's so much more fun dude. If I offended you I'm sincerely sorry. But when in game, let it rip. I don't hold back for anyone.

Is there any other way ?

You tell me what bothers you ?
What did I do to get your panties bunched ?

 

[TonyB]

Orange, it isn't Falschfahrer who is chiming in. It's RUS Warrior who is complaining.

Ice, I do not agree that this post be locked. I like the start of this thread by Orange. I just wish we could stay on topic here. Is there a way to delete the negativity posts that have gone off-topic?

Orange could you address the video settings questions I posted that got lost in the drama?

Thanks.

[mRoRange]

If you actually bothered to read my post you would find that it was targeted towards RUS warrior.

If you read my earlier post i was actually supporting your comments.

But of course if you feel that i was targeting you with the last post the it was never intended as i only find your comments in posts (except the last one ) very valid.

Falschfahrer,

I sincerely apologize, I didnt track this thread as good as I could have.

Since I made the mistake lets start over...

[mRoRange]

Russ,

Lets let bigons be bigons.

If you have a beef with me, PM or take out in my hide on the server. That keeps it light simple and we dont need to post a bunch of garbage and get shutdown.

I do want this thread open for future people to post " Tips & tricks " for others.

Just PM me and I will give you an honest answer. thumbsup0
